Flow Behaviour And Viscoelasticity Of Polypropylene-Kaolin Composites

Melt flow and viscoelastic behaviour of polypropylene kaolin (PP-kaolin) composites were investigated using a single screw extruder at various filler loading, temperature, extrusion cycle and die diameter. It was discovered that for the effect of filler loading, 5 wt% of kaolin loading has caused MF...

It was discovered that for the effect of filler loading, 5 wt% of kaolin loading has caused MFI value and apparent viscosity of the composites to be slightly reduced with respect to pure PP.
